# Parameter Grid

The Parameter Grid supplies values to the report that are used in report generation. For example, a report that compiles Logbook information might require a specific Logbook area as a parameter. These parameters will can be saved by using the **Save** button in the Application button menu. Saving the parameters keeps the settings for the parameters and the values when the report is next opened.
